Update Standards section on TDWG website #1

Closed peterdesmet closed 8 years ago

peterdesmet commented 9 years ago

The TDWG website currently contains two page types for the standards:

  1. An overview of all standards: http://tdwgng.tdwg.org/standards/.
  2. A (cover) page for each standard (e.g. http://www.tdwg.org/standards/150), with an abstract, a link to download the standard, and a (almost never used) feature to leave a comment.

The second page type is no longer needed, as all standards will be moved to GitHub, where the repository/standard can be downloaded, one can leave comments in the issue tracker and the README acts as a cover page. Each standard got a permanent URL at tdwg.org: those will remain, but will be redirected to the corresponding GitHub page (see #4).

The first page (an overview of all standards) is still useful. The question is, how do we want to present that list?

Updated issue body with more context.

peterdesmet commented 9 years ago

There was a consensus on this during exec call, so I will go ahead and do this.

Ok let's see with @Stan to do it on the new website.

peterdesmet commented 9 years ago

Should this be done on tdwg.org or QA one (cannot remember the URL)?

CynthiaParr-USDA commented 9 years ago

work should all be done on tdwgng.tdwg.org -- here is what I see to do:

mdoering commented 9 years ago

Should tdwgng.tdwg.org be up already?

CynthiaParr-USDA commented 9 years ago

it hasn't replaced tdwg.org yet, if that's what you mean @mdoering.

There is a list of steps to take before the cutover here: https://github.com/tdwg/infrastructure/issues/25 if you can help make sure this is a good list, we will discuss in meetings with Stan on Friday. Much of the clean up work can be done after the switch.

@csparr Ah, the site is unreachable while Im in our VPN. Something weirdly configured with the domain. All good, ignore me. I never saw the new site before, great to finally see the progress!

The page is now one big table: http://www.tdwg.org/standards/, with broken links (because of #46). For those where we can implement redirects, we should.

peterdesmet commented 8 years ago

Question, should we still list the date published in the table on http://www.tdwg.org/standards/? Reasons not to:

  1. What does published mean: ratified, first publication, ... ?
  2. For static, migrated standards, that info is available in the README (https://github.com/tdwg/prior-standards/tree/master/economic-botany-data-collection-standard).
  3. For more dynamic standards we would have to update it all the time.

If we want to indicate something, it would be the latest version number (e.g. 2009-10 or 2.06), but even that info isn't very informative and needs to be maintained.
